Forests of the Heart

In a world where ancient Irish spirits known as the Gentry have followed emigrants to North America, they roam the city streets, dreaming of power while mingling with indigenous spirits. Bettina, a young woman with a deep understanding of the spirit world, and Ellie, a sculptor unaware of her magical heritage, find themselves entangled with these dark figures. As they navigate their unique connections to the Gentry and the ancient artifacts of Celtic lore, they must confront the looming threat to both the human and mythic realms of Newford. Charles de Lint intricately weaves folklore and modern life, creating a rich tapestry of suspense and cultural resonance.
